 Books: Modish Operandi (The Boston Phoenix . 03-01-99)
Perhaps because of his proximity to the lifestyle, Ellis hits the nail squarely on the head in describing Manhattan's glitzy, vapid culture of celebrity, its obsession with cubed abs and carved cheekbones, its constant stream of drugs, booze, and Diet Snapple.
Ellis doesn't just drop names, he bombards us with them, hurls them across the page in great glittering heaps.
First, there's the blurring of reality and illusion (largely due to the introduction of a movie crew that begins filming the proceedings, and that may or may not be a figment of Victor's imagination).

It wasn't the best year by a reliever in the decade (Kinder's 1953 season comes to mind), but he won the award, the lowly Phils won the pennant, and it was a sort of clarion call for all teams to get pure relievers.

 Talksox- Red Sox fan discussion forum - View Single Post - Damon's offseason regimen: drink beer
Lately, I've been reading "The Summer of '49," David Halberstam's excellent account of the 1949 pennant race between the Red Sox and the Yankees, and I think I might have a hangover just from reading about all the drinking that was taking place back then.
For example, there was Red Sox ace Ellis Kinder who used to stay up all night drinking before the days he pitched as a way of "getting loose." Halberstam writes, "Normally, [Kinder] might have a few beers at night.
Need, of course, is a relative term, but Kinder insisted that when he skipped this ritual he would get so nervous thinking about the game that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

 Boston.com / Sports / Baseball / Red Sox / A reprise of 1978? Try '49
For the Red Sox, the starter would be righthander Ellis Kinder, a grizzled 32-year-old Army veteran of World War II from the hills around Jackson, Tenn., with an imposing record against the Yankees -- 7-2 lifetime, 4-0 that season when he had a 23-5 record with six shutouts.
Saturday night, Kinder did what he often did in New York -- he went drinking with a friend, Arthur Richman, then a Daily Mirror sportswriter, now the senior adviser in the Yankee front office who recommended Joe Torre as manager.
On the Red Sox train ride back to Boston that evening, Kinder, still furious over being removed for a pinch hitter in a 1-0 game, derided McCarthy in a noisy confrontation, but Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner, had put the situation in perspective.

Each team was led by a star of the highest magnitude: Joe DiMaggio spurred the Yankees despite missing half the season with a foot injury; Ted Williams virtually carried the Sox on his back, missing an unprecedented third Triple Crown by mere decimal points on his batting average.
Much is written about DiMaggio and Williams, of course, but Halberstam also deals with some pretty strange characters, like Ellis Kinder, a Sox pitcher who won 23 and lost only 6 games that year, who could only relax the day before working by getting drunk.
The players were convinced that, had Kinder not been lifted, the Sox would have found a way to win.
